Answer:

x = 1 or x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^3 + 3 x^2 - 9 x + 5 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(x - 1)^2 (x + 5) = 0

Split into two equations:

(x - 1)^2 = 0 or x + 5 = 0

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 1 = 0 or x + 5 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 or x + 5 = 0

Subtract 5 from both sides:

Answer: x = 1 or x = -5

The integer number that represents the changing in his account balance from beginning to end is of -20.

<h3>Which numbers belong to the set of integer numbers?</h3>

Non-decimal numbers, either positive or negative numbers, also zero, belong to the set, which can be represented by:

Z = {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}

A change can be represented by the <u>final value subtracted by the initial value</u>. For this problem, we have that:

The initial balance is of $20.

The final balance is of $0.

Hence the change in the balance is:

0 - 20 = -20.

And the integer is -20.

It is estimated that 75% of all young adults between the ages of 18-35 do not have a landline in their homes and only use a cell

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

a) 75

b) 4.33

c) 0.75

d) $3.2 \times 10^{-13}$ probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline

e) $6.2 \times 10^{-61}$ probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

f) Binomial, with $n = 100, p = 0.75$

g) $4.5 \times 10^{-8}$ probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each young adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they do not own a landline, or they do. The probability of an young adult not having a landline is independent of any other adult, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

75% of all young adults between the ages of 18-35 do not have a landline in their homes and only use a cell phone at home.

This means that $p = 0.75$

(a) On average, how many young adults do not own a landline in a random sample of 100?

Sample of 100, so $n = 100$

$E(X) = np = 100(0.75) = 75$

(b) What is the standard deviation of probability of young adults who do not own a landline in a simple random sample of 100?

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{100(0.75)(0.25)} = 4.33$

(c) What is the proportion of young adults who do not own a landline?

The estimation, of 75% = 0.75.

(d) What is the probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?

This is P(X = 100), that is, all do not own. So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 100) = C_{100,100}.(0.75)^{100}.(0.25)^{0} = 3.2 \times 10^{-13}$

$3.2 \times 10^{-13}$ probability that no one in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

(e) What is the probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline?

This is P(X = 0), that is, all own. So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.75)^{0}.(0.25)^{100} = 6.2 \times 10^{-61}$

$6.2 \times 10^{-61}$ probability that everyone in a simple random sample of 100 young adults owns a landline.

(f) What is the distribution of the number of young adults in a sample of 100 who do not own a landline?

Binomial, with $n = 100, p = 0.75$

(g) What is the probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline?

This is P(X = 50). So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 50) = C_{100,50}.(0.75)^{50}.(0.25)^{50} = 4.5 \times 10^{-8}$

$4.5 \times 10^{-8}$ probability that exactly half the young adults in a simple random sample of 100 do not own a landline.

to make an apple pie, mimi needs 2 cups of flour and 3 cups of apples. how many cups of ingredients does mimi need to make 5 pie

Lady_Fox [76]

For one apple pie, Mimi needs 2 cups of flour and 3 cups of apples, which is 5 cups in all, in order to produce how many cups she would need to make five pies you simply times the number given, number of cups, by 5. So you times 2 by 5, which is 10 and 3 by 5, which is 15 and together that makes 25 cups, 10 cups of flour and 15 cups of apples. If you had three cups of flour and needed to make 20 pies, all you would do is times three by 20, which is 60.

Hope I explained this correctly, if you need any more help, please ask.
